Three years The Hustler’s junior, The Sting stars Paul Newman and Robert Redford as a pair of old-time scammers who team up to pull off the ultimate con. It is a follow-up to their earlier collaboration Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

This time the fix is in, the odds are set, and the boys are ready to play for the big time, both on the screen and behind the camera in this breezy, endlessly entertaining movie classic – set in the mid 1930s – which took the Best Picture Oscar in 1973.

So full of twists and turns at every unexpected moment, The Sting – which features plenty of poker and a phony off-track betting operation – never stops drawing you into all of its traps. All of it is performed at a fast clip and the performances have all the nuances needed to keep you entertained and in suspense.

This one has been selected for preservation by the National Film Registry, meaning it is considered culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant. A classic any way you view it, The Hustler depicts a small-time pool hustler who travels cross-country with his partner and earns good money via gambling. But his self-destructive attitude and big mouth force him to challenge legendary player ‘Minnesota Fats’. Shot and released in an age when online gambling was not even close to being a concept, this is no laugh-a-minute rib-tickler. Instead, The Hustler is a cynical and incredibly cold movie from start to finish. There's not an ounce of humour in it, none whatsoever, yet it’s still one of the best sports gambling movies ever made. That said, do not expect a film full of games of pool with trick shots galore either. But if you are a first-timer viewer of this black and white masterpiece, it will have you gripped. It was the movie which turned Paul Newman into a superstar and ...
